After last week’s shocking win in Washington, the New York Giants look for their second straight victory in Week 12 as they host the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon. The Giants (3-8) beat the Commanders, 31-19 last weekend, while the Patriots (2-8) enter off a bye after a 10-6 loss to the Colts in Germany in Week 10.

The Giants are 3-7-1 against the spread, while the Patriots are 2-8 ATS in 2023.

Why the Patriots can cover
New England has lost six of its last seven games but enters off a bye with quarterback issues. It’s unclear whether Mac Jones will be the team’s starting quarterback this weekend after he was benched late against the Colts in Week 10. Considering the team has only scored about 17 points once since Week 1, New England will likely have to rely on its defense to slow down the Giants and keep the game lower-scoring.
Two offensive weapons of note for New England are running back Rhamondre Stevenson and wide receiver Demario Douglas. Stevenson has topped 100 combined rushing/receiving yards in each of the team’s last two games though he’s only scored three total touchdowns on the season. Douglas is the team’s de-facto No. 1 receiver and has posted more than 50 receiving yards in three of the team’s last four games. See which team to pick here.
Why the Giants can cover
After a rough performance in his first two career starts, quarterback Tommy DeVito was excellent in the team’s win over Washington last Sunday. The undrafted rookie free agent threw for 246 yards on 18 of 26 passing and had three touchdown passes. Another efficient performance would go a long way against a New England secondary, ranked in the bottom half of the league giving up 228.8 passing yards per game.
New York’s offense revolves around running back Saquon Barkley, who was excellent in the team’s win last Sunday. Barkley ran 14 times for 83 yards and caught four passes for 57 yards and two touchdowns. Strangely, he only has one rushing touchdown against four receiving scores on the season. The Giants lead runner has gained 77 or more yards on the ground in five of the last six New York games and will likely need to do so again on Sunday to give New York a bigger chance to succeed.
